The $30,000 will be posted to the debit side of the Cash account

The $30,000 will be posted to the credit side of the Common Stock account

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Cash A/c Dr $30,000

To Common stock A/c $30,000

(Being the cash is invested)

We simply debited the cash account and credited the capital account for $30,000 so that the correct posting can be done. So while preparing the ledger accounts we post the amount to the debit side of the cash account and credit side of the common stock account
